Clint Howell’s Summary

With over 10 years in the newswsire industry, I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the best companies across the world. I am continuing my participation with NIRI (National Investor Relations Institute) as a current Board of Directors Member, which has proven to be very interesting as the SEC continues their crackdown on RegFD, SOX, stock options backdating and the hot topic of XBRL.

As a co-founding member of Social Media Club's Austin chapter, where our motto is "if you get it, share it", I am engaged with thought leaders in the social media and open source arena, assisting to not only understand but define the landscape in this area.

As the Director of Emerging Media & Technology for the American Marketing Association's Austin Chapter. I've had the pleasure of working with a great group of people to further the Social Web strategy for our members.

As an active volunteer for the City of Austin's Technology Response Team (COA-TRT), I am on-call to assist the city of Austin's Communication and Technology Management (CTM) organization during a response to a disastrous event affecting the City.
